Old World

This exceptional estate has been lovingly restored and improved over the years, preserving its historical charm while embracing the conveniences of modern living. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and originally constructed in 1935 for the Costa family, this compound of a main house, a guest house and a pool house, set on 25.94 rolling acres, reflects the beauty and context of its history and the possibility of its future. The Main House blends seamlessly with the landscape and the stone hedges that shape and give it its name. The front door opens into a large and inviting main room with its original oak floors and multiple seating and dining areas - in front of the fireplace featuring a hand-carved mantel from the Tryon Toymakers, on the ‘Florida Tiled’ sunroom with its antique mill stone and southerly views through the massive windows, or outside on the terraces overlooking the pool, rolling hills and the daily sunsets behind the mountains beyond. On the first floor there is also a private office (or perhaps a fourth bedroom) with its full bathroom, a butler’s pantry and bar, a breakfast room with its own wood-burning stove, the gourmet kitchen and exterior doors and windows to the back-covered porch and the front terrace. Upstairs, accessible by elevator or stairs, are the two guest bedrooms with ensuite baths and a large master suite that includes walk-in closets, a gas fireplace, a generous master bath with double sinks and vanity, a walk-in steam shower and an ample soaking tub looking onto mountain views. Walk across the drive to the Guest House and you’ll find a self-contained suite of a bedroom, ensuite bathroom, living room with another full bath and a full kitchen. There is also, via a separate entrance, another bedroom, full bathroom and kitchenette. The Pool House, down the hill from the Main House and sitting comfortably between its heated and covered pool and a stone picnic patio, has its own bedroom with a stone fireplace, pine walls, oak floors, a beamed ceiling and ensuite bathroom. Beneath are two changing and storage rooms with their own baths.
